I posted something to you awhile back on the coffee thread, but it got down to the bottom so fast, I think maybe you never saw it. Anyway, you mentioned how much you like Seattle's Best Coffee, and I just wanted you to know that there is a place in Milwaukee now that serves it. It's the Blue Dawg Bagel at 1441 N. Farwell. They are doing a terrific job there (it is a new account I sold) and they are quickly becoming one of my biggest customers! Anyhow, I will be going up there this coming Tuesday sometime during the late morning/lunchtime to check in on them and do my usual sales visit, but you should stop in there and get some coffee!! They also sell bags of whole beans for home use... maybe I'll run into you there sometime!! Wouldn't that be fun!

Grace- THANKS!!!!!! I work Downtown, but I do my grocery shopping/nails/hair/schlepping on East Side. I will probably have my nose to the grindstone on Tuesday (I am putting together my division budget for 2001), so getting away will be a problem. Around what time will you be here and I will try to get me you for a cup. It would be fun!

Oh you poor thing - Budgets??? Ugghh!! My boss will be riding with me that day since I have raved on and on about what a nice account it is for us (they painted our logo on a huge wall inside and they paid for it! That's unusual!), so she wants to see it. So I have to coordinate with her as to what time she wants to leave (Chicago), etc. We will also stop at a few accounts in Gurnee on the way, so like I said, I'm assuming we'd be there around 11:00 a.m. or thereabouts, but still not positive right now. Anyway, don't worry if you can't get away at that time, I'm up there probably once a month anyway - I also deal with Aramark - they sell my coffee for me to offices, so I go up there and work with them too (we were working on Potowotmie Bingo for about 6 months until they decided to go with Altera!) Oh well - can't win 'em all, but I would have loved that account since they serve over 6,000 cups of coffee a DAY!! That would have a been a HUGE account for me. Who knows - maybe Altera will screw up and they'll be interested again, but I digress majorly here - the point is, I'm in Milwaukee often enough that maybe we'll have a chance to enjoy a cup of coffee together (I'll buy!!). I think that would be fun, but in the meantime, now you know where to get SBC when you get the hankering!

Ahh! Grace! I work with Aramark too! They are our cafeteria service here in lovely Newark NJ! I am the administrator for their contract with us. They are also a thorn in my side these past couple of days! Just had to jump in. It's amazing what a small world we live in.
